The initiative was
undertaken in collaboration with LandCare South Africa, an offshoot of the
Western Cape’s Department of Agriculture, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
South Africa.
Ninety trees, including
Rooiels, Kaapse Essenhout, Olienhout, Assegaai and Boekenhout were planted.
“Nederburg recognises
the need to conserve and sustain our physical heritage", says Nederburg’s
global marketing manager, Lynette Harris, "and for our conservation efforts
we were granted Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI) membership in 2011. We
don't just pay lip service to the need to respect our environment. We care very
deeply on both a brand and a personal level. Everyone involved said how much it
meant to them that they could make a tangible and lasting difference by taking
on this project”.
